What does the new Nano do at the end of a podcast?

My wife has a 1G Nano that she listens to podcasts on while she runs. It has the annoying behavior of stopping playback when a podcast finishes, instead of going on to the next podcast. Some of her podcasts are only 5 minutes long, so this means she has to fiddle with it every 5 minutes or so to get the next podcast playing.
Can someone with a new Nano please tell me what happens if you have several episodes of a podcast on it and you start playback? Does it still stop after the end of each episode or does it go onto the next one? Does it do the same if it's in shuffle mode?
We tried to work around it by creating a smart playlist containing only podcasts, but I think this model has something wrong with it. Sometimes podcasts don't show up in the playlist, and sometimes podcasts show up in the playlist but not in the Podcast menu, and the syncing gets all messed up.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
First I am not sure if your wife has multiple episodes of the same podcast she wants to listen to or if she has many short individual podcasts. Please note that below my suggestions differ depending upon which situation fits her problem.
I do not have a 1G Nano but I do have an older iPod Mini which I suspect behaves in the same way as your wife's older Nano. I, too, was frustrated in having podcasts play one at a time. I have a couple of podcasts that have daily episodes and each of those episodes used to stop at the end and I had to select the next one to listen to it. This was frustrating because I usually build up a week's worth before getting around to listening to them. Then, by accident I stumbled upon a solution for the Mini. The podcasts also showed up under albums (and artists too) so I set my iPod to play the complete album, selected the podcast I wanted to listen to and was able to listen to all the episodes in that particular podcast. On rare occasion the order of the episodes might get out of chronological order.
If your wife has multiple individual podcasts then she might want to try setting up a playlist with all the individual podcasts she wants to listen to and go with that. Experiment with the playlist idea and the shuffling options of the iPod to get multiple podcasts to play uninterrupted.
I must admit that since I got the Touch for my birthday this winter I don't use the mini as much and am a bit rusty with all the settings of that iPod. My Touch will play through all unlistened to episodes of a particular podcast but will still stop at the end of each different podcast. I have not had the need to do anything drastic on the Touch since most of my individual podcasts are 1 to 2 hours long which is ample time for me to get in a good, long walk!
Hope this helps you and your wife with her 1G Nano.
Sue

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

  • What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

    Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
    text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it  + also
    supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    ...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
    •About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
    { did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
    You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
    Here's an official support topic page about it.
    •OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
    That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
    Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
    Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • ACR 4.4, ACR 3.3...What does the "ACR" stand for ?

    In the Camera Calibration tab in Camera Raw or Lightroom, we can choose the profile from the menu.
    There are so many profiles in the menu, ACR 4.4, ACR 3.3...What does the "ACR" stand for ?

    ACR x.x designates an older style of profile where Adobe named their profiles for the version of Adobe Camera RAW that first supported the camera--basically the vintage of the profile, so if Adobe updated the profile then you'd be able to pick whether you wanted the old one or the new one.

  • What does the apple sign mean when sometimes it shows ?

    What does the apple logo mean when sometimes i turn it on it just pops up and goes back to normal??

    Ayip,
    The Apple logo appearing on your iPod nano is your nano's start-up icon. Normally, when you turn off your iPod nano, you are really putting it into a deep or semi-deep sleep, where it is ready to turn on at the push of a button and resume where you left off in your Now Playing list.
    If, however, you leave your iPod in a sleep mode for some time , it will shut down. To turn it on again, you'll need to hit the center button (deep and semi-deep will wake up with any button press). When turning the iPod on from a shut down state, it will display the Apple logo while loading your music iPod software.
    Hope this helps!
    Sincerely,
    -FD

  • What does the message "Another program has control of HP imaging device mean"?  I get this when I am trying to scan.

    What does the message "another program ha control of HP imaging mean when I am trying to scan something. How do i correct it?

    You may need to ask HP. I had the same issue with a networked (via ethernet) home HP multi-function. Sometimes the only way to get it to scan was to completely disconnect it from the network and connect it to only one Mac with a USB cable. Even that did not alwatys work.
    Eventually, Apple started pushing out HP printer updates via Software Update. One of those finally made that error message to go away.
    So run Software Update and see it there are new drivers that Apple made avaialble.

  • What does the  toolbox add

    Is this something new since Adobe took over that a toolbox is
    an option to DreamWeaver? I was looking for documentation in on
    line tutorials about forms. This would make you think that you need
    the DreamWeaver Developers toolbox to make a form or to have the
    form properly linked to a DB?
    Is this true? Or what does the toolbox offer?
    thanks
    jerry h

    The Toolbox is most of but not all of the behaviors that were
    formerly
    available in the Interakt Kollection since Adobe bought
    Interakt last
    September. A few of the advanced behaviors in it are PHP
    only.

  • What does the recovery disk assistant store?

    hello everyone, my questions:
    1.what does the recovery disk assistant store?
    2.is it necessary to use the recovery disk assistant often or is it enough to use once.
    thanks
    Fatih.

    As it said in the link I posted:
    has same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari. This drive can be used in the event you cannot start your computer with the built-in Recovery HD, or you have replaced the hard drive with a new one that does not have Mac OS X installed.
    And here it is explained further:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    It stores some tools (Disk Utility) to repair your drive and lets you connect to the app store to re-download the OS or restore it from a Time Machine backup. That's it.
    And it will re-install or restore your system (OS), it will not touch your files. However,
    NOTE: before doing anything like that, it is wise to have a complete backup - things can happen.
